    Can there be an option for the reply threads be folded by default?

    I feel like folded replies are the default on most threaded forums, but I realize most Artemis users will be Reddit refugees and the default is for reply threads to be expanded.

    Thanks!

      I would greatly not prefer that. Only showing top level comments means that no one would get their bad takes reined in automatically. You’d have to make the effort to see whether the replies are with or against the comment.

        Would the upvote/downvote numbers be an indicator?

        Anyway, I would like to have the option in the app settings to fold threads, but like I said before, most reddit refugees are going to be used to expanded threads – so I think that should be the default setting.

        Options are always good – there’s no need to activate it if you don’t like it. Presumably the default for such a setting would be off.
